Wall lights might not be the first thing you think about when planning your home lighting, but once you try them, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without them. These little lights on the wall can do big things. They don’t just help you see better, they change the feel of a room, make spaces safer, and give your home a fresh, stylish look.
At Elite Electrical Solutions, we’ve installed wall lights in all kinds of homes, from beachside properties in Sunshine Beach to new builds in Peregian Springs. We’ve seen how much of a difference they make.
Here are the top 5 spots in your home to use wall lights
1. Hallways: light the way, the stylish way
Let’s be honest, hallways often get forgotten. They’re just walk-through spaces, right? But with the right wall lights, your hallway can become more than just a boring pass-through.
Wall lights in hallways give a soft, even glow that’s easy on the eyes, perfect for those early mornings or late-night walks to the kitchen. They can be spaced along the wall to light up the full length of the hallway without needing a harsh overhead light.
We recommend wall lights that point downward or outward, so the light spreads out gently. If you want to get fancy, you can add dimmers or even smart wall lighting that turn on when you walk by.
Elite Electrical Solutions installs lots of hallway wall lights in homes across Noosaville, Tewantin, and Buderim. Whether it’s a cosy home or a big open-plan layout, hallway lighting can really lift the look.
2. Bathrooms
Bathroom lighting is tricky. You need it to be bright enough for shaving, brushing, or makeup, but not so bright that it blinds you at 6am.
Wall lights in the bathroom, especially around the mirror, give perfect lighting for your face. They cut down shadows and give a clearer, more even light than a ceiling light above your head.
You can place one wall light on each side of the mirror, or go with a stylish long wall light across the top. Choose a warm white light for a more relaxed, spa-like feel, or a neutral white for a crisp, clean look.
We often help customers in Mooloolaba and Twin Waters add bathroom wall lighting during renos. It’s a small change with a big impact.2. Bathrooms

3. Bedrooms
Bedroom lighting should be soft and calming. No one wants to feel like they’re lying under hospital lights when they’re trying to relax. Wall lights in the bedroom are a great way to add warmth and comfort.
They also save space. If you don’t want a table lamp taking up room on your bedside table, just install a wall light above or beside the bed. You’ll still have light for reading, but you’ll free up space for your book, your phone, or that extra glass of water.
Some bedroom wall lighting comes with flexible arms or dimmable switches, so you can aim the light exactly where you want it.
We’ve installed plenty of these across homes in Coolum, Mt Coolum, and Doonan. They’re a great choice for couples or anyone who likes to read at night.
4. Outdoor lighting
Your home doesn’t stop at the front door, and neither should your lighting. Wall lights on the outside of your house make your place look great, while also adding safety and security.
Think about the front door, the garage, or even along the wall near your outdoor dining space. Wall lights here can help you find your keys, guide your guests, or just create a nice vibe for evening get-togethers.
There are heaps of styles to choose from, modern black fixtures, rustic lantern-style lights, or simple LED wall lights that shine down the wall in a sleek line.
And don’t forget motion sensor wall lights, great for security and saving power.
If you’re in Peregian Beach, Castaways Beach, or Marcus Beach, outdoor wall lights can add that perfect coastal touch to your home.
5. Staircases
Stairs can be risky in the dark. That’s where wall lights come in. Placed along the wall beside your staircase, they make it easier to see each step, without blasting the whole room with bright overhead lights.
You can go with small, low wall lights along each step or larger lights spaced out along the wall. Either way, they make your staircase safer and better-looking.
Wall lights on stairs also add a bit of drama and style, especially if you choose a design that matches your home’s look.
Elite Electrical Solutions often helps families around Cooroy, Pomona, and Sippy Downs install staircase wall lights, especially in homes with kids or older family members.
Use smart wall lights for extra control
Want even more from your wall lights? Go smart.
With smart wall lights, you can set timers, dim the lights, or even change colours, all from your phone or voice. You can also group them with other lights around your home.
We set up smart wall lights as part of our Smart Home Automation service. Perfect for luxury homes or anyone who loves tech. We work across the Sunshine Coast, from Maroochydore to Currimundi and beyond.
